We all know the features we want and wish for, but which ones do you actually bet they will do.


Here's my list:

1. Object Search
2. A currency handling system
3. Better camera handling during building

I think the more appropriate question is "What do you think will break next" :)

1 & 2: probably.
3: Never. Philip enjoys watching the people who pay LL to build content for LL having a difficult time--he thrives on the frustration of builders.

Also not coming to SL: Rotation fixes, alignment fixes, etc. No building fixes, see above.

What I do expect:
1) More lag, lot's more.
2) More packet loss.

Don't agree, look at LL history.

When I open a scripting window, it'd be nice if the script would appear. Sometimes it's blank.

I want scripts to save fast again.

When I delete something from an objects inventory, I wish I could keep deleting things without the selection changing - I delete my main objects by mistake sometimes. Same goes for when I add something to inventory. It keeps changing what is currently selected, and takes forever for the UI to update when there are more than a few objects inside.

I'd like to see outgoing payments and object search.

When I edit an object the inventory shouldn't show the last object I selected for 5 seconds. The objects inventory should appear instantly.

When I click on an attachment to edit it, the camera shouldn't move.

This is the reason SL is failing and will continue to fail: New features ahead, instead of, bug fixes. But even calling them "bugs" is an easy out, they are programming errors.

Unfortunatly you will probably get this--with even more bugs.

That's why the entire team is dedicated to bug fixing right now. Yep, must be those new features they put on the back burner in order to make sure the system is stable.

Hahaha. Well with all the money you'd think they'd do something sensible with it.

But honestly, no matter what, there's going to be bugs.

In no matter what type of environment. Yes its annoying. But at least now they have the basis on fixing those.

Besides, I think we all know by now that Havok 2 is a little bit of an inside joke.

What exactly is your criteria for deciding that SL will be a failure??? ARE YOU MAD???

SL is the biggest success I've EVER seen in the "3D VR world" arena (NOTE: not the MMORPG or GAMING arena, BIG difference here!) for soooo many reasons... as far as I'm concerned the bugs I've seen in here so far are pretty minor and they do one hell of a job fixing them and actually LISTENING to and being INVOLVED with the community!

my 2 cents,

Arti

Another thing I bet they will do as soon as they have the bugs worked out:

- Free Membership (no $9.99)
